Florida Interstates: Areas Ripe for Serious Accidents
Statistics from state agencies, as well as the practice of our lawyers, show that there are some potentially dangerous interstate areas in Florida.
- Interstate 4 (I-4). The interstate section of the highway runs between the cities of Tampa and Dayton Beach. The section is 132 miles of interstate. Traffic is both eastbound and westbound.
- Interstate 10 (I-10). The interstate area travels along the border of Alabama and Florida. Traffic runs from the city of Pensacola to the city of Jacksonville. The interstate is 362 miles long. Traffic is arranged eastbound and westbound.
- Interstate 75 (I-75). The interstate section is organized between the city of Hialeah (Miami area) and the Georgia state line (just north of Lake City). The highway is 465 miles of interstate. Traffic is predominantly northbound and southbound, but some sections have heavy eastbound and westbound traffic.
These three interstate sections see the heaviest traffic, and car crashes are quite common in these areas.

Impact of Speed on Collisions on Highways and Interstates
On an interstate road, a driver can increase his or her speed, and each county can set its own speed limits. However, many drivers ignore the warning signs asking them to slow down and end up in serious crashes. If you are speeding and get involved in an accident on the interstate, contact our lawyer for advice and assistance with your case. Many drivers deny that they were speeding, but only an expert examination can show the degree of fault of each person involved.

Interstate Highway Car Accident FAQs
How should an injured person involved in a car accident on Florida’s interstate highways proceed? Our attorney has answered the most common questions. If you don’t find your answer, you can always get a free consultation with a lawyer by calling our firm’s hotline.
Do Most Car Accidents Happen on the Highway?
Accidents on interstate highways in the United States are among the three most common types of crashes . This is primarily because the United States has the most extensive network of highways in the world. Many government agencies decommission obsolete highways and build new ones to replace them. However, our statistics show that the number of accidents is not decreasing; rather, it is increasing every year.
Can You Survive a Car Crash at 80 MPH?
No one is immune from crashes on the roads. The experience of our attorneys shows that there have been fatal accidents even at low speeds, such as 40 miles per hour.
On the highways, cars travel at higher speeds. Even at a lower speed limit, an accident is likely to occur. You should follow the instructions on road signs. If a sign says to drive 60 miles per hour on a certain section of the highway, you must drive within those parameters. Otherwise, you run the risk of causing an accident. Also, keep an eye on the speed limit, especially around populated areas along the highway.
What Type of Roads Have the Most Accidents?
The state has four primary and eight secondary highways, each of which is labeled differently. Many years of accident analysis have identified four of the most dangerous highways; two of them are major highways and two are auxiliary highways.
Potentially dangerous highways in the state of Florida are as follows.
- Major Highway 75.
- Major Highway 4.
- Auxiliary Highway US-41.
- Auxiliary Highway US-27.
The most dangerous and deadly highway is considered to be the auxiliary US-27, which is nicknamed “Bloody Highway 27.”
